I have no doubt the thing is quick and strong to 60-80mph, but E cars don't have a ton of topend compared to their impressive 1/4 mile times. I've seen an owner test of the Model 3 at the track and it was doing low 13s@104mph. That means the mags will see low to mid 13s at 102ish. That's impressive; however, a standard 340i 8AT is a low 13 second at 108mph car. 4mph in the 1/4 mile is a pretty steady walk.

People love to quote how fast the model 3 "feels". In reality it's just the instant torque feeling. The trap speeds on these cars is not impressive. And I think it tops out at 120mph or something.
Main reason I wouldn't get one is that they still overheat or go into limp mode too quick. That's why you never see them setting a lap time, last time a p85 did a lightning lap it got beat by a 200hp Subaru brz
